even after updating freevo to latest svn (Freevo 1.8.3-svn r11193) the
problem persists. i thought it could be related to pylirc, but when i
tried the sample code from the developer's website it worked and
recognized my keypresses with the freevo lircrc correctly. so i suppose
the error is in rc.py or i have forgotten something very basic. could
someone explain what exactly happens when loading rc.py? i get the
following output wenn starting freevo and pressing a key on my remote (8
is mapped as DOWN in lircrc, non numerical keys aren't even recognized).
i'm a bit confused by the HELPER stuff and the two self.inputs lines.
